12Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time.
34Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod
5or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either
6/etc/modules.d/*.conf configuration files, or in a distro-specific
7configuration file.
89The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter
10is not specified the default value is used.
1112The parameters are as follows:
1314disable
1516 Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all
17 its functionality. This might be used when another module

19 IPv6 addresses or operations are desired.
2021 The possible values and their effects are:
2223 0
24 IPv6 is enabled.
2526 This is the default value.
2728 1
29 IPv6 is disabled.

3334 A reboot is required to enable IPv6.
3536autoconf
3738 Specifies whether to enable IPv6 address autoconfiguration
